So all my Ram owners, this motor gurl is lost!! I have a 2011 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7 hemi with 190k on him. I’ve had my head stuck in forums all week trying to figure out the beast. Let’s talk about what started it all. The ole boy started misfiring when going from second to third gear. To my surprise, no check engine light. So common sense tells me it’s time for some new plugs. He was back to running like a beast. 3 days later guess he felt the need for some more loving and on came the check engine light. To my surprise not only did the check engine light appear but now we’ve went into limp mode. After pulling the codes P0016 and P000b, I started researching. To follow came a oil change, a crankshaft and camshaft position sensor replacement and even retaught the crankshaft position sensor. My computer is telling me bank 1 crankshaft position sensor miss alignment. I guess here’s where my head is all kinds of confused. As long as the check engine light is cleared each time the truck runs amazing! Shifts great and has great power! Once the light is on, the truck sounds as if it’s cammed and stays in limp mode, it runs almost like it wants to flood while sitting in park idling. Not much trusting of a shop, especially when I’m a woman who knows my way around a motor. Any ideas???

Garc is very like correct

I found a video that you should watch

It came up when i googled the codes

P0016 Dodge: Code Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, & Tech Notes (With Video)

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the Camshaft Position Sensor and Crankshaft Position Sensor signals. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will

I know this is not what you want to hear but at 190,000 miles you have a lot of parts that are coming to the end of their normal life span and you are now entering the phase where it is going to be one thing after the next needing to be replaced. In other words the truck is going to start to nickel and dime you all the time.

There does come a point when the smart move is to trade or sell the truck and replace it with a new or newer truck.

I used to work for U-Hual back in 1980-82 (three years) in their repaid shop working on their rental trucks which at the time U-Hual only bought Ford trucks. We did everything from engines, brakes wiring, transmissions anything the truck needed we repaired. We even repaired the van bodies when people would run them into things, I have replace the front caps and entire sides of van bodies that people completely destroyed running into things. Thank god for air powered rivet guns.

Well U-Haul decided at one point that they would rebuild trucks from the ground up instead of buying new replacement trucks so they did it, they rebuilt the engines, transmissions, rear ends, repainted the trucks you name it anything and everything was rebuilt including the interiors.

They had more maintenance issues with those rebuilt trucks then they had buying new and it was costing them more money in the long run rebuilding the old trucks. U-Haul did an about face and they called it "resurrecting the dead" and abandoned the practice going back to buying new trucks.

Okay, I always need more info. Are you clearing the codes or does the truck clear them after a few starts/drives ? Did you fuel up some place different than usual ? Anything other changes or incidents recently. Are you running a tuner or chip. Any under the hood mods ? Do you have any kind of scanner ? Like a BlueDriver ? I apologize for peppering you with all the questions right off the bat, but it saves time by just getting it over with instead of going back-and-forth for a few days.
